PASADENA — A man used a knife to rob a check cashing business Friday, police said.
The crime was reported about 6:50 p.m. at a business in the 100 block of West California Boulevard, Pasadena police Lt. Tracey Ibarra said.
The robber was described as a Latino man in his 20s, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds, she said.
After asking employees to cash a check for him, the robber walked around the counter and pulled a knife, she said.
The knife-wielding man ordered one employee to the ground and kept another one near him as he stole an undisclosed amount of cash from the register, Ibarra said.
He was last seen fleeing on foot.
